There are now test failures with 0.002003 and perl 5.18.2: # Error: Unknown warnings category 'experimental::autoderef' at /tmpfs/.cpan-build/Var-Pairs-0.002003-bkBef5/blib/lib/Var/Pairs.pm line 8. Without looking at the code, I think the condition here should be $] >= 5.020, not $] >= 5.018.

The 'experimental' pragma can abstract all that messy version checking away for you.

Yes, 0.002004 looks good.

Hi Karen. That's certainly true, but it's only core from 5.20 onwards and would therefore add another dependency to the module, which I'd prefer to avoid if possible. I do appreciate the suggestion, however. Damian
